Villain – Peeking at the Diary, the Female Leads' Personas Collapse-Chapter 232

Chapter 232

While there was joy and laughter here, over on Ye Aotian’s side, he was unusually full of smiles too.

Early in the morning, Xiaolan had prepared clothes for Ye Aotian. When a man is messaging another woman and talking about things he likes right next to you, the fact that Xiaolan didn’t grab scissors and snip him was already giving him a lot of face.

But since she was just an accessory in his life, Xiaolan naturally chose to accept it.

In truth, Xiaolan had also found a clear path for herself. Helping Ye Aotian was also helping herself.

In other words, without Ye Aotian, Xiaolan wouldn’t have become the director’s chosen woman. She knew she was just an ordinary woman. She wasn’t some great beauty, so her options were very limited.

It was tough, honestly. Being stuck with a male protagonist like this—let’s be real, the male protagonist was becoming less and less like a man.

After seeing Ye Aotian off, Xiaolan ran into Zheng Shaoyang.

Xiaolan looked at Zheng Shaoyang and said, “You need something today?”

“No, I’m not interested. I’ve completely lost interest in you. I really don’t get it—how can you be this stupid?”

“What do you mean?”

Zheng Shaoyang said, “The director is obviously lying to you. With or without you, the director would’ve pushed Ye Aotian to fame because Ye Aotian represents the Ye Family. Have you forgotten?”

Despite saying he didn’t care, Zheng Shaoyang still felt a pang of sympathy for Xiaolan.

But some things, he couldn’t bring himself to say out loud.

“I …” In an instant, tears streamed down Xiaolan’s face, her heart feeling like it was being sliced by a knife. “I’m a rotten woman.”

Zheng Shaoyang silently watched Xiaolan crying on the ground. In the end, he helplessly handed her his jacket and said, “Don’t cry on the ground. It’s getting cold— it’s not good for your health.”

Xiaolan sobbed softly in Zheng Shaoyang’s arms.

“Thank you. You’re the only one who cares about me.”

“I don’t care that much. I just … whatever. Take care of yourself. Be smarter in the future.” 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

“I know.”

At that moment, Xiaolan’s phone buzzed with a message from Ye Aotian.

Still in Zheng Shaoyang’s arms, she picked up the phone and replied, “What’s up?”

“What do you like to eat? I’ll bring something back for you after I’m done.”

“Anything’s fine. Love you.”

In that moment, Xiaolan seemed to fall for Ye Aotian again.

Zheng Shaoyang rolled his eyes, pushed Xiaolan aside, and thought, This hopeless woman is beyond saving.

…

I’ve really fed my conscience to the dogs, but Xiaolan just has that charm. As soon as she acts a little aggrieved, Zheng Shaoyang naturally steps in to take care of her.

Meanwhile, Ye Aotian, in a great mood, met up with Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu didn’t dress up too much. She held an umbrella, wearing a white blouse and a pleated skirt.

Though she was a bit older, she was still great at looking youthful.

When Ye Aotian saw her, he was instantly smitten and said, “Being with you makes even the sky feel brighter.”

“You’re such a smooth talker. Bet you’ve fooled plenty of girls with that line.”

“No way! I’m a very devoted guy.”

“Tch. You, devoted?”

Before heading out, Xiaoyu gave herself a mental pep talk. It was about choosing her path. In the end, she decided she could only pretend to like Ye Aotian. She genuinely couldn’t bring herself to fully like him. She couldn’t accept that her man would have other women.

But if it was just pretending to like him, she didn’t care. Ye Aotian could like as many people as he wanted—even guys, for all she cared.

As long as he gave her money and made her famous, it was all worth it.

The two went to a small diner, ordered some stir-fry dishes, and started eating casually. This was per Cao Zishan’s instructions. If they went to a fancy restaurant, how would the story kick off?

Xiaoyu didn’t mind. Eating at these little street-side spots was pretty nice once in a while.

“Aren’t you eating?”

Ye Aotian was focused on his food, head down. Xiaoyu said, “It’s fine. Watching you eat is enough for me.”

“Uh … you staring at me like that makes it hard to eat.”

Xiaoyu slid over to Ye Aotian’s side, reached out, and had him hold her hand.

“How about now? Can you eat like this?”

“Yup, I can eat now. Hahaha.”

Xiaoyu huffed. Men were such simple creatures.

But at that moment, the door burst open, and Luo San, with a group of his buddies, strutted in and sat right across from Ye Aotian’s table.

Luo San sat arrogantly, facing Ye Aotian head-on.

Xiaoyu’s face turned pale. How could this be? Why was he here?

Meanwhile, outside in a car, Nangong Qingyan was excitedly chatting with the group.

“It’s starting, it’s starting! Holy crap, it’s on! Hahahaha!”

“What’s got you so hyped?”

Nangong Qingyan said, “It’s my first time actively acting in a scene! Of course I’m excited. I just don’t know if my acting skills will hold up. What if I blow my cover?”

Liu Feifei sent a picture of pork knuckles.

The rest of the group instantly gave her a 5.4-level shade.

“Are you toxic? Don’t you know I’m on a diet?”

Lin Qingyue got pissed when she saw it. This was too much. She worked hard every day to control her diet to maintain her figure, and Liu Feifei had the nerve to post that in the group.

Nangong Qingyan said, “Hey, don’t you guys care about Ye Aotian’s date?”

Number Seven said, “This group is having a feast at Chen Fan’s place. Ugh, I wish I could go too.”

Liu Feifei said, “Then come! What are you scared of?”

Number Seven awkwardly replied, “No way, I’ve got social anxiety. Going out is worse than killing me. Can’t do it. Oh, by the way, want to watch the live stream?”

Liu Feifei said, “Start it! I’m curious how Ye Aotian’s gonna deal with these punks. Honestly, isn’t this just a max-level character stomping a newbie village?”

The live stream started.

Everyone could watch from multiple angles.

At the scene, Luo San said proudly, “Little lady, if you don’t come with me, then today, my brothers and I are gonna have to sleep with your little boyfriend here.”

???

The group watching the stream was dumbfounded.

What the hell?!

Cao Zishan glanced over and said, “I told Luo San to improvise, and this guy’s going way beyond expectations. Hmm, I think this move is worth it.”

Nangong Qingyan said, “Holy crap, Luo San’s a shameless genius! This is hilarious!”

But what no one knew was that Luo San had something even more ruthless planned.
